MV Review Monday Ep 3: So Good & The Promise by Jay Park

~Welcome to Kpop Cubed~

Admin Meopin Maknae will start us off today with So Good (because ballads aren't my jams) [maknae ain't got no jams.../giggles]

OKAY FIRST OFF...

JAY THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH GREASE IN YOUR HAIR LIKE HOT DAYUM DID YOU SQUEEZE A BURGER INTO YOUR SCALP?... (Oh and I see you've been working on that golden Asian summer tan~)

(I swear this chick is taller than Jay and they keep trying to angle trick us into thinking he's taller...)

Now at first I was told this video was going to be all cute like Joah so I got excited because Joah is so cute and happy and lifts up my soul man. So, i expected it to be a typical song that i could wave my arms around too like the crazy person I am XD.

Then I saw this jacket and was like wait wait wait wait wait.... HOLD UP.... IS THAT...?

(One dance break later...)

OH MY SHISUS IT IS!

And then I proceeded to be hyper and happy because of this amazing MJ style MV.

JAY YOUR MOVES I CANT... JUST PLEASE KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU DO BECAUSE IT'S DANCERS LIKE YOU THAT MAKE THE GIFT OF SIGHT A THING IM MOST GRATEFUL FOR. (/proceeds to spazz in the corner/)

(I stopped videos at a lot of perfect moments, but this is one of the best I'm sure <3)

So getting back to the more serious review stuff... I absolutely loved the dance, the lyrics are catchy-ish so I'll probably be singing at least a chunk of this around wherever I go. The MV was perfect, I love the concept, the energy, almost everything about it. I say almost because JAY YOUR HAIR... WASH THAT S*** AND GET BACK TO ME (still loves you though)
Anyways, I'm not sure really where I stand on the whole nose stud thing. Like, sometime it looks good, and then there are other times... (when you scrunch up your face those billions of times) BUT, I'll let it slide just this once because I sarang you so much. /insert heart here/
/goes into ahjumma ahgi mode/ don't you go gettin' anymore of those weird piercin' though!
/waggles finger disapprovingly/ 

So yeah, I give this MV

6/5 Meopins for the dancing

4/5 Meopins for the song

5/5 Meopins for the outfits

-3 for grease

+5 for MJ

That makes 17/15 Meopins total

So overall you get 113% Meopin Maknae Approval

Dalki here, reviewing my ballad-y, summertime (shhh, it's still technically summer), baby making song. What's up with the sex this summer-- oh yeah, summer is the Korean mating season...

As soon as the song starts BAM you are hit with that piano and you can feel this is going to be a wonderful ride with your captain of the love making train, Park Jaebeom! 

At first, I wasn't too engaged with the black and white and simplicity of the video going on. I'm so used to seeing him surrounded by girls or his boys or seeing his adorable smiling face, but this time was all serious. He didn't have greasy ass hair, no fancy dancing. Just him, partially shirtless, nose stud and all, sexing you with that chocolate RnB voice of his.

DAYUM SON.

Chocolate abs for days and days and days- UNF

(OTL)

This song is a complete opposite of "So Good" and I love this more than the latter. It's more mature, showing a different Jay, in contrast to his cute or his party hard thug lyyyyfe MVs. And that high note he hits around 2:50-- SOMEONE CALL 911 WE GOT DEAD FANS. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.

I think that's a new hand tattoo...Jay, you need to be stopped. YOU CAN ONLY TATTOO SO MANY PARTS OF YOUR BODY BEFORE IT GETS FREAKY, BRO.

With all that in mind, let's wrap this up~

Song: 3/5 - It wasn't as catchy as "So Good" and the piano was a little too strong

Clothing (or lack thereof...): 5/5 - A man in a suit (jacket) can kill anyone, right?

MV: 4/5: The MV isn't super flashy and bright. It really fits the song well.

Overall, I'd like to applaud Jay for being very versatile when it comes to his style of music. He can pull off singing ballads, upbeat pop pieces, or nitty gritty hip hop style. BONUS STRAWBERRY.

Final tally: 13/15 strawberries!

Closing remarks...

Dok2 and the boys left me...

Do I really have to say something for this...?
